Default VMP Tuning??

Does anybody have any experience with VMP tuning for mail-order tunes?

if you are going with a box tune, i personally would go with brenspeed, but that is just my opinion

i heard justin makes good tunes. i did quite a bit of reading/research into hand held tuners before purchasing mine. i decided to go with brenspeed. mainly for a few reasons....first one is...the buy their tuners blank, and do not put any tunes on them untill you/a customer oders a tuner. at that point the ask what mods you have and write you your tunes, then send the tuner. of course you can tweak their tune with the tuner. the other reason i went with brenspeed is b/c they are the number one SCT tuner in the world. im sure there are some great tuners out there...but they arent ranked number one sct tuner in the world.

when i got my tuner from them i didnt think i would see/notice much of a difference in performance since i already had a "jet" chip in the computer....well....i was wrong...i was impressed as hell with brenspeeds tune!! BIG difference!! i reccomend them to anyone wanting a good proven canned tune.

I think VMP is SCT's 2nd Leading SCT Dealer.(at least they use to be) The only thing that means is they sell Alot. its not QUALITY its QUANTITY...(because China is USA's #1 trading partner does that mean they are the best??? )

I chose VMP because:
[ul][*]he is 2hrs away[*]Great guy (i sent him MANY emails about my Build and he responded QUICKLY and good info)[*]Buy Back Program- they Buy back SCT Tuners for store Credit(IE DYNOTUNING CREDIT)

It'll be a canned tune, I've been looking into Brenspeed and Bamachips, but neither of them offered an Xcal3. Is there alot of difference between the V2 and V3?

the main hp gains you get from a tuner/tune is from advancing the timing/spark, which you can do with both the x2 and 3.

actually....on brenspeed's website is says, quote: "SCT's #1 RANKED CUSTOM TUNER IN THE WORLD." this says nothing about being a dealer and how many units they sell. it says they are they number one TUNER...not dealer.
